Chapter 270 Primitive Beast World Cubs 44
Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his lips were red from the spiciness, and he kept hissing as he inhaled, but he couldn't stop eating with his chopsticks. He even started to fight with Shen Ci for the last few pieces of fatty intestines on the plate.
"Mother, this! Mmm...delicious!"
Cangye was talking non-stop the whole time, drinking water and eating pork intestines at the same time. He had completely forgotten all his worries and his brain had been taken over by the chili peppers.
His mouth was stuffed full, and he could barely speak clearly—a classic case of "it smells so good!" moment.
As a result, Cang Ye's stomach was bloated from drinking too much water, but the plate of stir-fried pork intestines was completely devoured.
Shen Ci didn't even throw away the softened chili peppers inside. She carefully put them away, preparing to stir-fry them with meat for the next meal, since there was still so much oil left over from stir-frying pork intestines on the plate.
This meal was incredibly satisfying and left me feeling completely refreshed!
That fiery, sweat-inducing feeling makes every pore on your body feel refreshed.
At night, Shen Ci heard Cang Ye run to the toilet countless times. Now Shen Ci was sleeping on a wooden bed, which was also covered with thick straw, and the quilt was made of animal skin with straw sandwiched between it.
All-purpose hay.
Cangye, on the other hand, was more used to sleeping in caves. He liked the feeling of being grounded and sleeping soundly there.
After building the house, Shen Ci immediately built a simple toilet. When the weather was hot, it was fine; he could just dig a pit to use the toilet.
Anyway, there's no need to worry about being seen, so just be discreet.
But considering that there is winter here, it's not really possible for someone to bend over and defecate in the freezing cold with snow falling from the sky.
In the wild, the smell of feces easily attracts predators.
Just like keeping a cat at home, when you go to the toilet, the cat will always wait at the door, or even scratch at the door to try to get in, just to protect its owner.
The next day, Shen Ci chose a sunny, well-drained plot of land, carefully loosened it with a hoe, and then evenly scattered some of the chili seeds she had collected the day before.
Then cover it with a thin layer of soil, gently compact it, and then water it.
If they grow well, we might be able to harvest chili peppers again before winter arrives.
After planting the chili peppers and checking the growth of the millet and potatoes, Shen Ci went to the chicken coop and found that the ducks were a little listless, but none of them had died.
They coexisted peacefully with the pheasants, without any fighting, and even knew to run over and steal their food.
As long as I can eat, I can live.
But can ducks and chickens be raised together for a long time?
If too many poultry are raised and they are all gathered together, it is easy for diseases to break out. Looking at these ducks, they were all caught from the water's edge, and their living habits depend on water.
There's a small pond right in front of my house, which I usually use for washing things. If it's turned into a duck pen, I'll have to go to the back to wash things, which will be a bit inconvenient.
However, the riverbank isn't too far away, so it's acceptable.
A few days later, Shen Ci took her wood-chopping knife and went up the mountain to cut bamboo. Now that Cangye is older, she needs her own space and is no longer as clingy as before.
Respecting the child's nature and the wolf's habits, Cangye goes out hunting every day and also helps with household chores.
If this were in modern times, a family with such a sensible child would be incredibly fortunate.
The whole day was spent planting crops and cutting bamboo, because the pond wasn't very small, but it would still require a lot of bamboo to enclose it.
Fortunately, she wasn't in a hurry. The family had enough food reserves to get through the winter, so she didn't have to rush to do other things.
If you're tired, take a break and then continue.
The first day, I cut down the bamboo. There were big ones, small ones, thick ones, and thin ones. I sat at home and sliced them into pieces. This is the perfect time to use a machete.
The kitchen knife wasn't sharp enough to cut directly, so it was perfect for splitting bamboo strips. The bamboo strips were split into pieces and scattered all over the ground.
There's a faint smell of bamboo in the house. As long as you have bamboo, you can weave many tools, such as baskets, mats, and chopsticks.
After splitting the bamboo on the first day, they prepared to weave a fence on the second day to enclose the entire small pond. The fence was made deep to prevent the ducks from crawling out from underneath.
Unlike pigs and cows, ducks are not very strong and cannot fly after their wings are clipped, so they can be enclosed with something as lightweight as a fence.
A spacious shed made of bamboo and thatch was built by the pond, and dry grass was laid inside. Ducks in the wild usually sleep in the reeds.
Instead of laying down hay here, they placed it by the water to simulate a duck's habitat.
There are also some naturally growing reeds along the edge of the pond, which Shen Ci has preserved to provide hiding places for the ducks, where they can lay their eggs, and it looks quite nice.
After enclosing the entire pond, there is water, grass, and a shed inside. It is big enough to raise more than 20 ducks. The ducks can swim, walk, and catch insects in it. It is very spacious.
What is a pond of a decent size to humans is a mansion to ducks.
It took several days to build a complete duck pen. After checking it repeatedly, we confirmed that there was no place where the ducks could slip through and that the height would prevent them from splashing out.
Shen Ci put the duck inside. After it went in, the duck was stunned for a moment, and then it seemed to have returned to a familiar environment and started quacking excitedly.
One by one, they eagerly jumped into the water, swimming and diving in the small pond, preening their feathers.
When ducks are in a good mood, they lay more eggs!
This duck pen is quite luxurious, with running water, a rain shelter, and reeds for hiding. Even after the ducks lay eggs, hatch, and grow up, it won't feel crowded.
The chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, and horses have all been settled, and the crops in the fields have all been planted. Now all we can do is gradually replenish the supplies we need at home, and then quietly wait for the harvest.
After being busy for so long, I can finally take a short break and enjoy some leisurely time.
All you need to do each day is carefully prepare three meals and take the horses, cattle, and sheep out to graze. At this time, Cangye will transform into a wolf and act as a sheepdog.
The horses and cows didn't really want to run away, since life here was quite comfortable and they were served. Only the sheep wanted to escape, but Cang Ye was watching them.
Grazing livestock, experiencing nature, gathering resources, and storing food—it's a leisurely and wonderful experience.
Even without electronic products, one can get used to living in this world and it's quite comfortable.
After dozens more tally marks appeared on the wall, the weather turned cooler, and the most obvious change in the world was the appearance of many more trees with yellowing leaves.
This means that autumn has arrived, and you can clearly feel the coolness in the wind.
